With this being my first blog ever, I would like
to tell you a little bit about myself and my racing
career. I am the sole owner/operator of Molly
Rhoads Motorsports and I have been racing since I
was 16. I just had a big birthday last week which
makes me not a twenty something anymore. I started
racing in the bomber division after my olderbrother AJ Rhoads, held a mini tryout for my
twin sister Megan and I. We both had the chance to
test his car and the faster one of us would have
the chance to race his car the following year. I
was the faster twin and spent my sophmore year of
high school racing a bomber car ! I continued to
move up the ladder and I have been racing in the
Super Late Model division since 2004. I have
accomplished a lot throughout my years and also
have been very blessed in my racing career.

It hasnt been an easy road and I have had
to make a lot of sacrifices along the way, both
financially and personally. I have chosen to miss
many social outings, best friends weddings, prom
and even my college graduation party to continue to
chase my dream of being a successful race car
driver. I am a very proud and independent person
and I take great pride in the fact that everything
I have accomplished, I have truly earned. I
havent been given any handouts or special
treatment throughout my career and I am very proud
of that. I can look back and be very happy with my
results because they were earned.

I have been working 4 part time jobs (which feel
like 6 full time jobs) for the past year or so, and
I do that to fund my racing. I love my jobs and I
love that because of my dedication I get to keep
chasing my dreams. I do have those days where I
dont want to go to work and would love to run
away and do absolutely nothing. I had one of those
days last Saturday, where I only had a few hours
sleep and had to get back up and do it all over
again, and all I wanted to do was watch the
Budweiser Shootout. It was that morning that I
stopped and looked hard at my race car in the
garage and I remembered why I go to work and why I
chose to make certain sacrifices. To some it may
seem silly to work so hard for or at something and
not always attain the optimum results, but for me
it defines who I am and what I stand for. So I
guess I will keep busting mine in order to kick
theirs !
